Assistant Professor, Contemporary Middle East
The University of Oklahoma’s Department of International and Area Studies announces a search for an assistant professor (tenure-track) position in the contemporary Middle East. The research focus is open; however, the department seeks a scholar who will add to our already established strengths in Middle Eastern area studies.

Candidates who have training in any discipline within the social sciences are encouraged to apply.

The Department of International and Area Studies offers six undergraduate degrees and an MA in International Studies.
